Killian’s POV

I cautiously entered my brother's study, a sense of dread washed over me at the sight that greeted my eyes. I had to blink twice. I might be known to be ruthless but seeing my family’s bodies on the floor did something to me.

There, on the floor, lay both my mother and brother, their bodies contorted in agony, foam spilling from their mouths. The acrid smell of wolfsbane hung heavy in the air, its toxic presence unmistakable.

Questions raced through my mind in a frantic whirlwind. How did this happen? How had they been poisoned? And why hadn't they detected the deadly herb in whatever they had consumed?

My heart clenched with fear and disbelief as I knelt beside them, desperate to find any sign of life amidst the stillness that surrounded me. Something weird jerked in my heart at the sight of them like this.

But as I reached out to touch them, a cold realization settled over me like a shroud. They were gone, their lives stolen from them by a silent killer that lurked i

    Elaine’s POV The guards seized me roughly, their grip like iron shackles as they dragged me along the cold, stone corridor. I offered no resistance, my limbs feeling leaden and useless as they hoisted me like a mere sack of grain. With each step, the weight of my helplessness bore down on me like a suffocating blanket. I didn't bother to struggle or protest; what was the use?

There was no escape from this prison, no reprieve from the relentless torment that awaited me at every turn.In the eyes of these creatures, I was nothing mo

    Killian’s POV With a heavy heart and a resolve born of newfound determination, I returned to the grand hall, where the weight of responsibility hung heavy in the air like a shroud of sorrow. As the only living royal remaining, I knew that the burden of justice now fell squarely upon my shoulders, and I would not shirk from its weight.Stepping into the center of the hall, I addressed the assembled throng with a voice that rang out clear and unwavering, despite the turmoil that churned within me.

The remnants of my slumber clung to me like cobwebs, tugging at the edges of my consciousness with a stubborn insistence.Blinking groggily, I struggled to shake off the last vestiges of sleep, my mind still shrouded in the fog of dreams.

  • Alpha Prince’s Mute Mate   15: No matter the cost

    Killian’s POV After the hot water had washed away the physical and emotional grime of the past few days, I stepped out of the shower feeling slightly more human than I had in a long while. Not that I want to feel human when I’m not. I have their body but I am not a human. Far from it. With a towel wrapped around me, I padded across the cool tiles of the bathroom floor and made my way to the bed. My mind is in chaos but I am forcing myself to be in the present. Exhaustion weighed heavily on my limbs, dragging at my eyelids and clouding my thoughts with a thick fog of weariness. The events of the past few days had taken their toll on me, both physically and mentally, and all I wanted now was to escape into the oblivion of sleep.With a weary sigh, I sank down onto the soft mattress, the cool sheets a welcome relief against my overheated skin. I buried my face in the pillows, inhaling the faint scent of clean linen and lavender, and let myself drift into unconsciousness.For how long

Damon, the guard who had brought me the food, had left, leaving me once again alone in the small, stark room.With a heavy sigh, I let my thoughts wander, the weight of my circumstances bearing down upon me like a leaden shroud. The events of the past days swirled tumultuously in my mind, a maelstrom of confusion and uncertainty.I traced the lines of the patterned tiles beneath me with weary eyes, the monotony of the floor offering little solace in the face of my mounting troubles. Each passing moment seemed to stretch on endlessly, the silence of the room echoing with the weight of my solitude.Lost in my own thoughts, I allowed myself a moment of respite, the quiet stillness of the chamber enveloping me like a comforting embrace. But even in the tranquility of the moment, the specter of my uncertain future loomed large, casting a pall ov

He exuded a commanding presence, his form towering and powerful, every inch the epitome of strength and authority.

I don’t understand how I am able to hear her even though she doesn’t open her mouth to talk. I hear whatever she is saying. What the hell?????Though our conversation had been fraught with tension and uncertainty, her image remained etched in my memory with a clarity that bordered on obsession.Her lips, a vivid shade of crimson against the pallor of her skin, had captivated me from the moment I first laid eyes on her. I have so many things I want her to do with those lips. A lot of them.

I made my way down the corridor, the memory of her lips lingered like a phantom caress against my skin, igniting a fire within me that burned with an intensity I could scarcely comprehend. Imag

The warmth of our camaraderie was a welcome respite from the weight of recent events. Riley seemed more at ease, though she still fretted over her boss's reaction to the car accident."Thanks for being here, guys," Riley said, her smile soft but genuine. "I'm really worried about talking to my boss."Elaine squeezed her hand. "We'll figure it out together. Maybe Jake can offer to cover the damages, considering it was his fault."Riley nodded, her face thoughtful. "I hope he'll understand. I just don't want to lose my job.""Just be honest," I suggested. "Bosses appreciate honesty and a willingness to take responsibility. We'll back you up."As we settled back into our conversation, Jake, who had been uncharacteristically quiet, suddenly spoke up, his voice heavy with emotion."I can't keep this in any longer," he said, his tone serious and urgent.

Behind him, Riley entered the room, panting heavily.

    Killian’s POV But as Leah turned to leave, she whirled around again, her eyes blazing with fury. "You think you can just dismiss me like that? You think you can mate with a human and keep your place as Alpha? That's not how it works, Killian!"Elaine stiffened beside me, her fear transforming into a simmering rage. "Don't you dare talk about things you don't understand, Leah," she snapped. Before I could stop her, she stepped forward, her eyes flashing with determination."Elaine, don't," I warned, reaching out to pull her back, but she shook off my hand. She was too angry, too filled with righteous indignation to be swayed."You want to see what I'm capable of, Leah?" she challenged, her voice steady and unwavering. "I'll show you."With that, she began to change. I watched in stunned silence as her body shifted and contorted, her human form giving way to something much more powerful.

It was Jake."Killian, we have a situation," he said urgently."What is it?" I asked, already feeling a knot form in my stomach."It's Leah. She's at your townhouse, and there are pack members gathering outside. She's causing a scene, and she's dragging Elaine out with her."My blood ran cold.

I pushed the door open and stepped inside, finding Leah lounging on a chaise with an air of smugness. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw me, but she quickly masked it with a sneer."Killian," she purred, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "What brings you here?""We need to talk," I said, my tone cold and unyielding. I didn't give her a chance to respond as I crossed the room and stood before her.

"There are matters of great importance that need to be addressed."Without hesitation, I moved to the heart of the issue.
